Chapter 2: An Ordinary Day

Empty. That was the right word to describe the house that Sakura Haruno lived in.She woke up to the sound of her own house's emptiness, this was what she woke up to each morning ever since her parents died. She looked at the poster she has next to her bed. 'Live a life of love, eh? What garbage…' She stared at her room; it was black, blue and more black. Not much in the room, her bed, a table and a closet. The most interesting thing was her table; on the table was a picture frame. It was a picture of Team 7 when they were still genin.

Sakura stood in the middle with a smile of pure happiness on her face; Naruto and Sasuke were glaring at each other while their sensei had a smile full of pride his students. 'That's in the past now, I'm stronger. I will prove to him that I can be strong' Anger and hatred burned in her eyes, she was tired of being weak and defenseless, and she wanted to prove not only to Sasuke and Naruto but all of Konoha that she was a strong kounoichi.

She got out of bed and got dressed, no longer wearing her simple red Chinese dress and shorts. She now wore a pair of black cargo pants that were nice and baggy; Sakura wasn't the kind of person who would show off her body to others. Her top was a black tank top with the fish net long sleeve under it and to finish off her ensemble, she wore a black cabbie on top her silky pink hair. (A/N…that looks so cool! I know you guys probably are like "What the hell is this author thinking!" and thinks it looks messed…but …eh maybe I'll draw how I imagine it and upload it…)

She did her daily morning routines and then headed out to train. It's about all she does. Train. Train. Train. She wanted to be strong, she wanted to prove toherself, and most importantly she wanted to prove to Sasuke that she was as strong as he is, maybe stronger. Sakura walked down the street towards the hokage's tower. Maybe she might even have a mission today so she could actually see how much she has improved and if it's enough.

As she entered the building, screaming could be heard from the Hokage's office.

"TSUNADE-BAA-CHAN!" (That is what he calls her right? Correct me if I'm wrong. ) Echoed down the halls. "I WANT A MISSION! IM READY FOR ANYTHING YOU THROW AT ME! I CAN DO IT! BELIEVE IT!"

Sakura knew only one person could be that disrespectful towards the Hokage and that loud. Dead last. Fox boy. Dope. (As Sasuke use to call him.) The one, the only, Uzumaki Naruto. They had been on the same team together when they were genins, thought he was not at the same level as her. (Sakura is Jounin, soon ANBU while Naruto was still Chuunin.) Sakura still considered Naruto a close friend even if they were drifting apart the past few years. Naruto was always there to help and comfort her when ever she needed it most; she knew she could count on Naruto.

As Sakura neared the Hokage's office, she could hear it even louder then before "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE I CAN'T HANDLY THE MISSIONS YOU HAVE! I CAN DO ANYTHING 'CAUSE IM UZUMAKI NARUTO, FUTURE HOKAGE!"

Sakura rolled her eyes, typical Naruto, as she stood in front of the door. She reached out for the doorknob when it twisted and opened...


…uh a cliffy? …

Ya, well I'm SOOOOOOOOOO sorry that it's so short

I did this in kind of a rush and I don't think I did a very good job with this chapter, but I promise that the next chapter will be longer!

Once again, I am VERY sorry! Gomen! T-T

BTW, I know I have many mistakes in this chapter, and it would be a huge favor if you pointed them out so I don't do them again.

JA!
